Powder Rheology

Particulate flow processes are common during the packaging of pharmaceutical drugs, but they have a wide range of applications across various industries. The cohesive forces between solid particles play a valuable role in ensuring the optimal performance of particulate flow systems. 

PCL employs Powder Rheology to examine the behaviour of your powder samples as bulk assemblies consisting of solids, liquids, and gases. This allows us to measure the dynamic flow and shear properties of your powders and quantify bulk properties such as density, compressibility, and permeability. These properties are crucial for determining powder flow, cohesion, agglomeration, and material cohesiveness.
